The other part of the equation is making sure that your packages are recognized as such by Launch Services and the Finder. There are several ways to do this, but one thing you will want to do is to give them an appropriate extension and have your application claim that extension in its Info.plist. This is all pretty extensively documented, and there are a host of examples.

Unfortunately, I've been unable to get the 'recognized by Launch Services and the Finder' part to work. Actually, even my own app shows the generic folder icon when I open one of these 'package files'.
I created a new document type in the Application Settings, I gave it an extension, I clicked the 'File Package', and I even gave it an icon. I tried logging out and back in again. Unfortunately my documents still show up as normal folders, with no special icon.
What are the other 'several ways to do this'? So far I haven't found anything that lets you set the 'package flag' (if there is such a thing), just read it.

Thanks!
Andrew
